Roman ruins and cliff top villages as well as the Mediterranean Sea offer many photographic opportunities. Cezanne’s Aix-en-Provence means a drive along the path to Mont Ste.Victoire and a visit to his studio just as it was in his time. In and around Paris discover the other impressionists: Monet’s Garden and the Marmottan Musuem to see his original works.
The four days in and around Paris include visits to the Musée d`Orsay, Monet's Gardens in Giverny and the Virtual Impressionist Museum in the Chateau d`Auvers to help us understand what inspired these artists at the turn of the century.
